Updating my “must have” plugin list. Most WordPress users will find these either very handy or essential!

Make sure you have the latest version of WordPress. It’s insanely easy to update your WordPress software and plugins right in your WP admin area, something I really appreciate as a web designer/developer using the software for myself and a lot of clients. Such a time saver (which trickles down to a money saver for my clients!!)
